Steal This Look: A Prince Charles-Worthy Kitchen

The ultimate color block room: a farmhouse-style kitchen in Upstate New York is updated with one bold stroke (read on to discover why we think Prince Charles would approve). Leave it to Philadelphia-based design duo Tara Mangini and Percy Bright of Jersey Ice Cream Company to pull this look together—sourcing their inspiration from Plain English's British Standard Kitchen (an all-time Remodelista favorite), inspired by Prince Charles' wish to bring well-made cabinetry to "the people." Mangini and Bright's version of the two-tone look spills over to the smallest details, with black bin pulls, door knobs, even switch plates. Recreate the look of this DIY kitchen with our sources below and see all the "before" photos of farmhouse at Jersey Ice Cream Company . N.B.: Great minds think alike: Anna Dorfman of Door Sixteen sleuthed out the key elements of the British Standard Kitchen that first inspired Mangini and Bright. Above: Jersey Ice Cream Company (named after an embossing stamp the couple found at their first flea market excursion together) started out as a Vintage Shop on Etsy ; today they offer full design services in the Philadelphia area. Their aptitude for finding the best antiques comes through in the accents of the kitchen, like the green metal table legs supporting the kitchen sink. Above: A large built-in kitchen cupboard unit was stripped of its frills (see the "before" photograph here ); the glass panels were replaced with lath. Above: A compact black dishwasher disappears beneath the Ikea butcherblock countertops. Above: The finished product: a kitchen worthy of below stairs Downtown Abbey. Above: Mangini and Bright used Benjamin Moore's Black Horizon to slice the kitchen palette in half. A gallon of Ben Interior Paint in Black Horizon is $36.99. Above: Crown City Hardware's Modern Bin Pull with rear mounting offers a clean look with concealed screws. Measuring 3.75 inches, it is available in four finishes. Shown in oil-rubbed bronze; $17.99.
